bondpunk, I started out sewing my own shirts and vests. Made my first quilt for first grandchild 19 years ago. Made her a number of little girl dresses till she was about five and suddenly got "fashion conscious". Took her shopping for a new pattern and stopped making her dresses when she started, at age 5, demanding this change, that change , change everything and on and on. Thankfully she switched to a shoe fetish and her mother has to deal with that.

Like your jacket - bold statement.
